 "Priyanka Chopra’s Quantico season 3 draws flak from Twitterati for 'ridiculous' depiction of Indian terrorists")
The latest episode of Priyanka Chopra’s Quantico has drawn a lot of flak for its portrayal of Indian nationalists, who bomb Manhattan only to pin the blame on Pakistan. Indian viewers of the hit ABC series and fans of the actor took to Twitter to express their dismay and anger at the Bollywood star. [caption id=“attachment_4499049” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] Priyanka Chopra in Quantico. ABC[/caption] Created by Joshua Safran, Quantico stars Priyanka as Alex Parrish — an FBI recruit who joins the agency after graduating from the FBI Academy and becomes a prime suspect of a terrorist attack on Grand Central Terminal. Season three saw Alex going back to navigating the dangerous waters of the CIA that she left behind when she retired to Italy. In the episode “The Blood of Romeo,” which aired on 1 June, weaponised uranium-235 is stolen from a university lab by a physics professor and is used to bomb a summit between India and Pakistan that is convening in New York. Indian Twitterati were upset at the insinuation of Indian ever being a terrorist and how Priyanka went along with such a “nonsensical” and “highly unrealistic” plotline. Here’s how they reacted:
In this episode PC discovers a rudraksh mala (not kidding) on the terrorist and then then concludes that these are Indian nationalists trying to blow a bomb in NYC and blame Pakistan for it and that’s how the episode unfolds from there .. seriously ridiculous stuff.

@priyankachopra shame on u...Describing Indians as terrorists in #Quantico You should oppose them as being an Indian.Sometimes I do not understand being proud of being an Indian or shy because Indians only insult Indian.

Hey @priyankachopra , the love, adulation and fame that you got from us Indians is a significant reason that today you are on world stage. And you, the “Desi Girl” ,played along calmly portraying Indians as terrorists in your show Quantico #Respect 🙏🏻

Do you even know what are you doing, just for the sake of money you are putting your selfishness your greed before nation
ABC opted to cancel Quantico after its current season. So, its season 3 finale will now serve as the series ender.
